Abstract
Non-invasive monitoring of cerebral blood flow at the bedside using diffuse correlation spectroscopy is being investigated as a potential tool to improve brain health outcomes after surgery. In this work we characterize the performance of diffuse correlation spectroscopy measurements in assessing cerebral blood flow in the presence of systemic physiology interference through measurements on several healthy volunteers during CO2 inhalation. We report group averaged responses and the role of multi-layer models in increasing the accuracy of CBF estimates. We compare optical blood flow recordings with transcranial Doppler ultrasound and MRI ASL data.
